| Bent Silver TX102 compared to Placette RVC A very interesting and well written thread. My personal experience with the mentioned control devices are none. I do have experience though with the substitution of Vishay resistors over many other highly touted brands. I can vouch for the the muc... | |
| speaker stands on wood floors Don, I have found it best to use the Audiopoint APCD discs from Starsound under the points of speakers rather than having the point go directly into the wood. Beause of the shape of the disc, more resonance is captured off the point and transfered... | |
| speaker stands on wood floors Soft chewey centers? What are you guys talking about? If it is lead or sand they are damping components. Lead and sand and rubber are storage devices. These materials do not transfer the resonant energy many of you are voicing, rightfully so, that... | |
| Digital isolation. Am I doing this correctly? Warren, you may have some loss of absolute benefit by using the same common outlet.. In theory and probably also in practice you would be better all the way around to have two duplex outlets each with their own dedicated supply and each with their... | |
| Putting floorstanding speakers on stands... Sistrum SP101's under my still almost Dunlavy SCiv's make a marked improvement.. The way these platforms are built allows me to adjust and compensate for floor irregularites left to right and align the tweeters so they are slightly north of my ear... | |
| Looking for isolation suggestions... Kentucky oysters work well for me. These babies make everything more natural and fluid like, while at the same time maintaining the tactile sense of space and air around the instruments. They are a real bargain..Tom | |
| Krell KSA200s bi-wire vs. 2 Yamaha MX1000 bi-amp Yamaha amps are wimpy. No dynamics and are 2 dimensional at best. The Krell will have more bass control and present a very good rendition of a soundstage and musical contrasts. | |
| Spikes for Meadowlark Shearwater Hot Rod You cannot isolate anything, so if you try you are going in the wrong direction. Audiopoints are not isolators. In fact Audiopoints are not reflectors either. Audiopoints and Sistrum both have a collective bandwidth that extends over several megah... | |
| Spikes for Meadowlark Shearwater Hot Rod If you really want to hot rod these excellent speakers Audiopoints or Sistrum platforms are the dynamically coherent way to do so. Tom | |
| Does Panasonic RP 91 still have the best Picture Best picture now is the Sony dvpn999es. Looks better than the new Pioneer Elite DVD47AI. I compared them side by side on plasma and dlp... Tom | |
| This Sistrum stuff works Twl I guess I jumped into a question directed at you . Sorry about that.. Tom | |
| This Sistrum stuff works Hi Sc53, I also have a Linn Lp12 and a standard Sistrum Sp 6 rack. What I have found to be most effective for me is as follows. .If you remove the masonite bottom plate you will see 4 corner braces. For the Lp12 to sit on the three Sistrum points ... | |
| This Sistrum stuff works Sean, as TWL has written in his Sistrum statements he heard more music with lower distortion and at higher perceived volume levels. You do not increase level by dampening or killing off dynamics. Green only used some of the tools at his disposal. ... | |
| This Sistrum stuff works Sean, I agree with your negative comments about the Michael Green clamp rack. Like all methods of dampening and so called isolation systems they serve to kill the dynamics and hence the music. There is only one parallel between the Green rack and ... | |
| This Sistrum stuff works Brent Riehl designed the original Audiopoint in 1989 not Michael Green. Green was a pretty boy front man smart enough to capitalize on a good concept when he could grab one. As TWL stated a company north of Detroit makes a try to be knockoff of th... |
